Push down the power switch once on the top panel to start the UPS. The LCD display
lights up.
To turn off the unit, simply push down the power switch again.
When operating in AC mode and utility power is interrupted, the unit will beep twice
every 8 seconds to indicate that it has gone into battery mode.
When operating in battery mode, the unit will beep every time the battery voltage falls
under or rises above the acceptable limits.
This UPS is designed for "off-mode charging”, that is when it is switched off, it will
automatically recharge the internal battery as long as it remains connected to utility
power.
The display turns off in battery mode when the unit is powered off. In AC mode, the
display remains on, but no output will be provided to the outlets.
4.5 DC start function
· The DC start function enables UPS to be started up when AC utility power is not available
and battery is fully charged. Simply push the power switch to turn it on.
5. LCD display
· The UPS comes equipped with an easy to read LCD with blue backlight that displays the
battery status, input voltage, output voltage, and operation mode of the UPS.
1. Turn off and unplug all connected equipment.
2. Unplug the unit from the AC power source.
3. Turn the UPS upside down.
4. Use a screwdriver to remove the compartment screw. Slide the cover towards the back

Indicates current loads at increments of 25% of its capacity
Indicates charging level at increments of 25%
Indicates input line voltage
Indicates output voltage value
When the input voltage is within acceptable range, UPS will
provide pure and stable AC power to the output. The UPS will
also charge the battery in AC mode.
In case of an overload, the alarm will beep once every 0.5 second
The alarm will beep once every 10 seconds.
It will always show 0 on the output voltage indicator.
